Preamp for Herron VTPH-2A
BTW, Keith has upgraded the VTSP-360 to the VTSP-Ref; I just bought one a few weeks ago, along with a VTPH-2A. Both sound AMAZING going into my MSB S-200 power amp and Harbeth Super HL-5 speakers, and they're still a long way from being fully brok... 
I must be old
I didn't understand the big deal about vinyl - I had a Rega TT with an Exact cartridge, and I got no thrill out of the vinyl I had and would go years without playing a record. Just recently upgraded my vinyl system with a Technics SL-1200G TT, Cle... 
Is louder better?
What???  
MSB S202 Stereo Amplifier - what's the experience so far?
I've got an MSB S-200 power amp and an Analog DAC. That power amp is awesome no matter what the source. I thought I had great digital sound with the Analog DAC/S-200 - had it that way for many a year - but just upgraded my vinyl system and got a H... 
Reccomend a good preamp for me.
Herron Audio VTSP-360 ESP is absolutely superb - do some online searches on gear from Herron Audio; I just got a phono preamp and a line-stage preamp from Keith Herron, and yeah, his gear really is as good as everybody goes on about, and he's a pl... 
Why would anyone want class AB amp when class A always sounds better ?
Anytime I see the word 'always' in statements like this..... next!  
New-ish to Audiogon Forums... Is it always like this?
I find the same thing with other things besides audio. I'm a photographer - how many times have I been asked 'What's the best camera?' without having any idea of what they're going to use it for. I can never answer a question like that; all I can ... 
Quicksilver Headphone Amp
I've had a Quicksilver headphone amp for a few months now, and it matches perfectly with my Focal Utopias - they sound like they were designed for each other.... 
WHO ARE THE BEST SONGWRITERS IN THE LENNON McCARTNEY Traddition?
Chris Difford and Glenn Tilbrook - Squeeze.... 
Stereophile's 2021 products of the year
Why buy anything when there is so much out there that is just as good if not better at 1/3 the price? Seems that's how most reviews in these publications go - "this is so great I bought it myself"; I'd like to see these people's listening rooms, b... 
Jazz listening: Is it about the music? Or is it about the sound?
I think it's whatever engages your ears and brain the most - could be sound, could be music, could switch between them, could be both. 
What do you have on order RIGHT NOW.
I've got a Herron Audio Phono Stage and a Herron Audio Preamp on order, and UPS should be bringing them to me TODAY!!  
For all you Vinyl lovers!
I agree with keegiam - for audiophiles, that may very well be true, but I'd say that most vinyl collectors are not audiophiles and are not hearing that vinyl anywhere near its best, so if they're doing it for the sound, it's possibly because it so... 
What is the average life expectancy of a DAC?
All DAC's sound the same? Sorry, but my RME ADI-2 DAC does not sound like an iPhone.  
For all you Vinyl lovers!
I think the best thing about vinyl, and the reason so many non-audiophiles love it, is the artifact itself. Nothing wrong with that - I'm currently upgrading my vinyl system right now. But I care a lot more about the music than about whether it's ...
